Monday--We are still working on completing Chapter 5 Section 7 on The Pythagorean Theorem. This concept is one of the top five concepts tested on the TAKS test. Students will be constructing triangles of various sizes with straws and use their knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem to classify the triangle.
Tuesday--We will grade the assignment for 5-7 and begin working on Chapter 5 Section 8.
Wednesday--Students will have a short Vocabulary Test over Chapter 4 Sections 1, 2, 3, and 8 and Chapter 5 Sections 7 and 8.
